Avalanche education is not only valuable to help prevent avalanche incidents, but to inform students on how to act properly when accidents occur. I will be a student of snow safety for the rest of my life, because the mountains are where I want to spend it. Salomon's Mountain Academy is another resource in our education toolkit, and when combined with real-world experience, mentorship, and hands-on formal education, it allows those of us that are inclined to venture into dangerous terrain to do so with as little exposure to risk as possible.

When you buy backcountry gear, you should know the basics to the backcountry. Salomon is taking a proactive step to ensure the safety of its customers. Mountain Academy empowers the new and/or experienced user by providing a basic structure and introductory level education opportunity to avalanche safety and backcountry etiquette. The framework explains the necessary steps towards building knowledge in the mountain environment and will show the importance of the many levels of snow safety education.
